Ha'aretz says it's 60 troops and the base was a full km inside Israeli territory. The rocket scored a direct hit on an empty tent that's used for administration during the daytime. Most are light wounds and shock, although about a dozen are more severe. If the wounds are superficial enough, maybe Olmert can get away with not retaliating. We doubt it though. First, 24 ambulances with screaming sirens rushing to the Negev though - that's not only a hell of an image to minimize, but they could just as easily be heading to a schoolhouse in Sderot instead.
